Party for me Jeanna. I can't get into it. It just doesn't seem right considering the swine we have in office?I know how the Dems felt with all the Bush bashing. But he was just one pig? They have a whole hog house full of them now!!!!!

Just getting home from Belleville so I guess I did. No sign of UFOs though and tonight would have been the perfect time to see them. Lost in the fog on country roads in the wee hours with a sprained ankle and messed up knee. Belleville has its own UFO landing strip.

You have to make due with the equipment you have, Lisa. I got hit with a mortar right in the gut on the Fourth. Some cousins got a few thousand dollars worth of fireworks and lit them off in the yard. Good thing the yard is on a farm.

Thanks J., they look good on my monitor, but I have a Mac flat screen so you never know.

No tripod, just me clearing through the crowd. I've gotten really lucky with fireworks shots over the years.And yes, that was some kind of stuffed wolf or former pet or something. Hope you had a good one, mine has crippled me for a week.

I deleted my response, Jodi, because it was pretty much all whining. So either I'm going to stop complaining about my swollen mosquito eye and battered ankle and knee or do an entire post where I bitch...decisions.Anyway, I think your kids need bigger fireworks, the kind that hits you with a flaming mortar wad.

I was thinking the same thing about the widow's peak! I actually said that today. Then I thought, "Wait! What she needs now is more hair!" LOL!

She had tons of dark hair when she was born, and then it fell out. It's now growing back in, but lighter. She's got the same colour hair as John does. Light brown, with a few blonde strands and a bit of auburn.

Jeanna--he did have the uber extra large, sounds like a sonic boom fireworks. It was so loud he had to crouch down and cover his ears.

I thought it was the fireworks from the church one neighborhood over. Pretty impressive.

Hope your eye is back to normal and you battered body parts are, too.

btw--you like kitsch? You have kitsch headed your way from the conference. Whattaya get when you put four thousand romance writers in the same hotel? Bookmarks with semi-nekkid guys, fans with pecs, and every kind of promo known to mankind.

(although I thought the printed condoms with the woman's info on it from three years ago was the best, I took a handful and gave them out to everyone I knew)

Love kitsch, love the thought of your kids firing off class A fireworks in a neighborhood.The eye is not quite there, and the rest just sucks. Of course to top it off, it's Shark Week.Yeah, bring on the naked guys, unless they're utterly disgusting.So that means you've got a bit of free time then? Hmmm...
